Have you found the man, Christ Jesus?

Finding Him means you may have to give up the things that you love the most.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. (Philippians 3:7)

You will have to walk by faith, trusting the things that you cannot see and not the things that you can see.

Walking by faith comes with many sacrifices. Hence the road is narrow and rugged with few people treading the path.

On this journey you sometimes have to forsake everything that you cherish.

You first have to deny yourself and take up the cross to follow Christ. In other words, you have kill all your fleshly desires on the cross.

You may have to forsake your family to follow Jesus!

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew 19:29)

It you are wealthy, you may have to sell everything you own and give to the poor to have eternal life.

When you choose to follow Jesus, you may have to let the dead bury their dead!

You sometimes have to forsake your chosen professional career to fulfill the call that God has on your life.

The twelve desciples gave up their careers as fishermen, tax collectors to follow Jesus.

Paul gave up his lucrative career as a Hebrew Pharisees. He was a devoted Jews and well learned in the laws of God.

He was comitted to defending the laws by persecuting the Church.

Paul considered himself a righteous and blamless outstanding Jews until he found Him – the man Christ Jesus.

Then, he forsook all and counted them as dung!

They were all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior.

Are you willing to count everything as dung when you find Him?

You will!

Because when you find Him you will recognize His voice – the voice of the good Shepherd.

You will know Him because of the nail prints in His hands.

You will know Him because of His blood stained robe.

Yes, my friends you will know Him because you will see His name written on His robe and on His thigh – King of kings and Lord of lords.

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, we have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph (John 1:45)

Have you found Him as yet?

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
